In this episode, I speak with Cameron Wight about the importance of enabling maintainers to understand the decision-making process behind the maintenance they perform and why it is important to write the work instructions to allow correct execution and capture the correct level of information. Cameron also shares his experience in the defense, maritime, and communication industries.
In this episode, I speak with Philip Sage. Today, we’re diving into the murky waters of Mean Time Between Failures, or as some of us like to call it, ‘Maybe This’ll Be Fine’. We’ll uncover why relying on MTBF can sometimes be as risky as trusting your umbrella on a windy day. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some solid alternatives that won’t leave you high and dry!
In this episode, I spoke with CMDR Simon Moore from the Royal Australian Navy and Truong Nguyen from Babcock. We discussed what drives a Reliability Culture in the Navy and how it can be improved. Additionally, we explore the differences between Maintenance and Reliability in the defense industry compared to Mining or Oil and Gas, and the starkly different consequences they entail
